I wholeheartedly agree with the author of this piece.
In fact, I would prefer it if people were required to SMS before a call. That is, they would text the reason for the call and then the recipient can choose whether to phone the person back or respond via SMS or e-mail.
Voice calls are intrusive. They interrupt whatever activity one is engaged.

I didn’t have that feature since God knows when, and never would I leave a voicemail. IMHO If a person be courteous to the person he/she is trying to reach he/she’d text first before calling.
